Description

Imagine an artist, wearing a crumpled straw hat in the middle of a field, stooped at his easel, in the midday heat of Southern France. He is intensely painting his impression of dozens of colorful bicycle riders as they whir by in a flash of titanium and carbon fiber and then vanish like the Sirocco winds. They are gone in moments, leaving the artist to dab his colors in a frenzy, while the memory is still vivid. *** My impression of what Vincent Van Gogh might have seen if he had witnessed the 2007 Tour De France as it goes through Arles today. Made a Bryce render with a bunch of lo-rez bikes & riders I made and then took the render into Painter and slapped some paint around.

Ridiculous, funny and amazing all at once, you've done it again! I heard that the French wanted to start the Tour in London this year because they still claim to hold title to that land, it's ...bygolly... a piece of France Outre-Mer! and don't you forget it, remember that Treaty? Non?
